Showers of Blessings

This month God has poured to our family showers of blessings through our beloved friends and families around us. Many have sent us encouragement, and offering us support financially and in prayers. We even received a cheque from someone we've never met before, who read our blogs and being moved by God. We are so moved and encouraged that we know God is faithful. Here I want to give my special thanks to Rachel, Joyce & Ah Dee, Wing Chi and other APS buddies for your continual support, not to mention my beloved brother and sister-in-law, my parents and parents-in-law. You have blessed us in so many ways! ^_^ I'll continue to work hard as a faithful steward of God.

My summer intensive Greek course has started. Now week 2 is over and I'm glad that I survive. I find this course really wonderful as I can really focus in learning this language bit by bit (actually chunk by chunk in terms of materials being covered) The advantage of this intensive course is that it gives me the focus to learn the language with discipline. But we're being pushed to the limit by having quizzes everyday and an exam each week. I'm amazed how much I've learned now as I can start reading simple Greek sentenses. It's fun! But my rhythm has also been greatly affected and I'm finding a balance of work and rest now. I would go to bed by midnight and get up to study at around five o'clock in the morning. I find this the best time to read and study alone. Of course I'll get pretty tired during my class from 8:30-1:00, but I would also take a nap in the afternoon. I'm glad that most Fridays are off and that's why I can take a break to write this blog. ^_^ I pray that I can finish this course well.

THERE ARE TWO OTHER GREAT NEWS:
1) We received the letter from the immigration finally! And we're now entitled to apply for MSP (medical coverage for us) We'll be looking forward to hear from the MSP office about our application and we pray that Connie can give birth with the MSP coverage.

2) My parents are over in Vancouver from Toronto. I've longed for this long-lost moment to spend time with each other. I'm learning how to treat my parents well. (honestly, I've not been doing a great job...really need to keep learning and shaping)

I'm quite sleepy now...gotta head to the bed. Good nite ^_^
